Classified substitutes are essential in education!

2022 Classified substitute bonus

  • The Bremerton School District and BPEA (Bremerton Professional Education Association), in an effort to increase the number of classified substitutes that fall under the BPEA union, recently enacted the following agreement with incentives for the 2022-23 school year.

    • A classified substitute employee, who is not employed with the District, and who completes 45 assigned work shifts of employment will be paid a one-time bonus of $150.
    • A classified substitute employee, who is not employed with the District, and who completes 60 assigned work shifts of employment will be paid a one-time bonus of $300 (additional to the $150 bonus paid earlier).
    • A classified substitute employee, who is not employed with the District, and who completes 75 assigned work shifts of employment will be paid a one-time bonus of $450 (in addition to the $150 and $300 bonuses paid earlier).
    • For the purposes of calculating these bonuses, calculation of the number of assigned work shifts will begin August 31, 2022. For the purposes of this LOA (Letter of Agreement), a work shift is a period of work assigned for a single day and may include planned gaps in hours assigned. For the purposes of this LOA, an assigned work shift must be at least 4 hours in length.

    Individuals who are interested in serving as a classified substitute in the Bremerton School District will need to complete an online application for the specific position. All new employees are also required to pass a fingerprint/background check.
